I'm not saying that firing McCoy makes them better, or that we would even want that to be the case.

What I'm saying is that firing McCoy is an easy move to provide cover for a team that's going to finish with 5 or 6 wins this year, while their fans think they're automatically entitled to a playoff spot every year.

Calling it a 'transition year' may be too generous. It's more like the Broncos are rebuilding.

fair enough

and yes, the Broncos won the Super Bowl - lost a Super Bowl and also lost to the Ravens - they had a very good run, if not great, under Manning at QB

but when you build yoru roster and have cap concerns - it happens - to everybody except the Patriots, even the Steelers have some good success

they played 4 of first 5 at home and went 3-2. that loss to the Giants was a season turning loss.

since they 7 of final 11 on road and not doing too well

I see 3-3
so that puts them at 6-10

actually might need the Broncos to beat the Fish or Raiders - ask me Thursday night after pecan pie if the Bolts win - I will root for Broncos on Sunday

I was about to reply something similar to Sam Waterston, until I scrolled further.

The Broncos beating the Chiefs will probably be imperative too.

Based on current standings, they need to beat the Cheifs.

Broncos may need to beat the Raiders, given that they're the more immediate threat to surpass us in the division (they already have a better conference record). Also, we at least have a head-to-head split against the Broncos, whereas we're 0-1 so far against the Raiders. As it stands now, this is another reason to root for the Broncos in that game.

Given that the Dolphins beat us head-to-head, having the Broncos beat them could be a wash -- while the Dolphins move down in the standings, Broncos move up. Currently, the Dolphins are in the way for a wild card, and the Broncos are still just a game behind us for both wild card and division.

The Chiefs are in pole position for everything right now, so the more they lose the better.

Chargers just need to focus on the games they can win -- and they need to hope its every game from here on -- and then we might be having a different conversation by the end of December.

Bolts are 2-2 in division
Chiefs are 2-1
Bolts need to get to 4-2
Chiefs might need to lose to Raiders or Broncos

Better to get fired now though - enjoy the holidays, start making calls for next year - Broncos signed him to a three year deal - he can kick it for a year in San Diego if he wants. I doubt he does but he will be enjoying the Holidays on the beach --

EDIT: Paxton Lynch starting this week.

Mike Klis wrote an article today in Denver Post - ripped Elway pretty good. Klis also is not a fan of Vance Joseph - said that was a mistake hire. To this day, I am still not sure why Wade wasn't brought back - his knowledge, ability to adjust during the game, at halftime, hard to replace.

I just peeked in on you old farts over at polyforum. it was cute in a whole new way - akin to when you head to Palm Desert and stop to fill the tank on the way out. walk in to grab a water and there's your neighbors wrestling on the floor of AM/PM for the last churro.

Norton out in Oakland Pagano promoted to DC. Meet the new boss same as the old boss? We'll see.

I still think there was some fire to the smoke about the oline letting Carr get clobbered and being ****ed at him for standing for the anthem.

Viva Las Vegas!

Such a dumpster fire in Roachville. Hot grease. Everyone was putting icing on that turd calling them a Super Bowl contender, the team to beat in the west, etc.
Having said that, if they win one more I hope it's against the Chiefs lol

I know someone who bet the under on the Raiders win total (9) and at the time even I was buying the hype; dude looks pretty good right now.
